Peaceful sleep for baby!
Only when his delicato little digestivo system is in perfect order can baby enjoy sleep right through the night. A dose of Woodward's Gelpe Water after the last meal removes the cause of zestless nights by checking fermentation and ensuring complete digestion of milk and other foods.
Woodward's contains no opiates, and is always quite safe to give.
